Our March Tournament (4-SS, Game/60) starts next Wednesday the 3rd with games on the 3rd, 10th, 17th and 24th. Entry is $2. Let me know asap if you want to play but will be arriving late or need a bye for the 1st round. Registration is from 5:30 to 5:40 with the 1st round at 5:45 pm.

Vincent v. Calvin (drawn by perpetual check)

Carl v Torey

Spread the word about the Georgetown Chess Club. We are steadily gaining new members. I believe with a little luck we can see tournament entries in the 20s next month.
